Keyboard with more soft keys

I have recently bought HP Compaq 6730b notebook (product number: NB019EA#AKD). It is a good notebook but there is one issue that I don't like. Pressing keys on keyboard is too hard for me to be comfortable. My local HP call center told that HP doesn't have replacement keyboards with softer keys. Of course I expected this answer. But they also told that I can try to obtain keyboard replacement from other producers. There can be some keyboards from no name companies that can be more soft. Do you know such keyboards? I don't want to buy one and pay for transport to my country if I am not sure about it if it is better keyboard than I already have.
My keyboard number is 487136-B31, but I think that it is common for all HP keyboards.

Generally what do you think about keyboards in HP? Do you think similarly as I or not?

  • Apple keyboard with PC (volume keys)

    I just hooked up an Apple keyboard (wired) to my old PC and all works well, except for the volume keys. Is there any way to get them working with iTunes? Thanks.

    I'm not sure. Since I'm typing this from a laptop, I never had an Apple Keyboard before. If there is a install driver cd that came with the keyboard, try that. otherwise you're pretty much out of luck, because those keyboards are intended for mac users. Please post back with results.

  • TS3048 wireless keyboard with non responding keys,

    I followed the steps in the article here for troubleshooting wireless keyboard.  But when I got to step #8, the keys did not respond. The article sort of just assumes things will respond and doesn't go any further. Is there anything else to do or do I simply need a new keyboard?  Thanks!  I'm missing about 3 letters (y, c, v) and having trouble with a few others.  It started after I cleaned the keyboard, so I suspect I messed it up.  (currently using an old plug in board, which is definitely a temporary solution only)

    Thanks.  I actually didn't know about the update.  But, since I couldn't take it any longer, I took the keyboard in to the Apple store and in awesome apple fashion, they just took a new one out of the box and gave it to me, so I am good to go. 

  • HT2448 I have a Macally Keyboard with no Eject key.  What do I use instead?

    The HT2448 article shows all kinds of shortcuts for shutdown, restart, etc  They all use the Eject key in the upper right corner of an Apple Keyboard.  But one of my computers has a Macally keyboard without Eject.  Is there some other key I can use?  I've tried F12, but that does nothing.  Is there some escape sequence I can use to recode a key, like F12, to get it to act like an Eject key?

    Is it the Restart/Shutdown options you want?
    The key combo of Control+Eject, (F12), may bring up the Restart/Shutdown Dialog box and the 1st letter of each will select that button.
    Command+Option+esc = Bring up Force Quit window
    Command+Control+eject = Restart immediately
    Command+Option+Control+eject = Shutdown immediately
    Command+Control+power button = Force restart

  • Dimension with more duplicate keys

    Hi guys, I'm a little bit on trouble with a dimension. In this case I got something like: Country, Contract, State, Code
    (USA) Limited1  Arizona 44707
    (UK) Limited IT 2011-2013 Arizona 44707
    (UK) Limited IT 2010-2011 Arizona 44707
    I can put country as key because I got different countries, but I got even different Contract, State and Code. Pratically I got always a duplicate key...should I create a new field or I have another solution?
    Any thoughts? Thanks

    You can also use a surrogate key if you want which would be a autoincrementing identity column or based on sequence.

  • Looking for split keyboard with soft keys

    Does anyone know of a split keyboard that has keys as soft/sensitive as the powebook keys?

    Rubs me the wrong way when someone asks a question and people criticize the question, but I thought I'd pass on my experience.  I was disappointed that the "Nimitz" keyboard with the separate calculator-type numerical keypad and extra programmable buttons disappeared.  Part of the reason was that the keys on the "chicklet" board felt a little more tightly-spaced (way back in the day I had even gotten a keyboard that splayed apart and you could adjust the angle of the keys you hit with your left hand from those you hit with your right).  I didn't like the feel and I was typing more slowly (I'm a fairly quick typer).
    I started looking around to see what replacements would match the uncluttered modern look (wireless being part of that) while giving me the conventional keyboard feel.  (I'm also a keyboardist, as in synthesizer-player, so I know from the differences in tactile feel and resistance and such.)
    But the truth is I stayed with the "chicklet" keyboard.  I just got used to it.  Going back and forth from synth to piano means you never really get used to a bad keyboard feel and it affects your expressiveness.  But once I got used to the "chicklet" keyboard, now when I use a conventional typewriter-style keyboard, it feels clumsy and I find I type no faster than I do on the new one.
    My two cents.  If you find that's not so, good luck on the search for something suitable for you.  Would be nice to have the option for those who want it.

  • I use an Apple bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. In messages I can't find a way to "send" a message without tapping on Send on the iPad's screen. I've tried every key and key combo that I can think of. Am I missing something?

    I use an Apple bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. In messages I can't find a way to "send" a message without tapping on Send on the iPad's screen. I've tried every key and key combo that I can think of. Am I missing something?

    I already have multiple devices and by far I like my iPad the most over laptops and the iPad. That including checking out my friends MacBook Air.
    The difference for me is the touch interface on the screen itself for things that do not require a lot of typing. For me, the iPad is more "magical" than anything else I've used.
    Again, I do appreciate your answers but you don't know my situation. Not everything is as it is perceived without knowing me and what I have to go through.

  • I want to know if the Macbook Pro with the ash key board and as the cd rom infront is more recent than the one with the black key board and as the cd rom on the side.

    I want to know if the Macbook Pro with the ash key board and as the cd rom infront is more recent than the one with the black key board and as the cd rom on the side.

    Hi Tracy,
    I'm guessing "ash" is the silver colored keyboard, the same color as the rest of the MBP? If so, that machine, with the optical drive slot on the front, is the older machine.

  • Why doesn't my forward delete key work on my apple keyboard with numeric keypad?

    I bought a wired apple keyboard with numeric keypad to pair with my Mac Pro (late 2013) and when I try to use the forward delete key, it does nothing. I have even tried to use the fn + delete shortcut and that doesn't work either. I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

    Again, waking up an old thread:
    I first used an air compressor, set around 50psi, to "air out" all the ports.
    Then I used a clean cloth to dab a bit of alcohol on an SD card's contacts... slid it in and out several times, dabbing a little more alchol each time... and voila!
    All of our SD cards now seem to work fine... recognize, read, eject...
    Also used alcohol to clean the contacts on all the cards.

  • I cleaned my wireless keyboard with a cloth that had a few sprays of windex on it, wiping back and forth and up and down on the keys. Now, various keys are not working. Is there a way to "reset" the keyboard to restore the keys?

    I cleaned my wireless keyboard with a cloth that had a few sprays of windex on it, wiping back and forth and up and down on the keys. Now, various keys are not working. Is there a way to "reset" the keyboard to restore the keys?

    Thanks for replying (thorvsphoenix)
    The windex was sprayed on the cloth, not the keyboard. And only one or two pumps on a hand towel. No liquid seeped between the keys the towel was barely damp. You are saying the ammonia gas created the problem?
    I think It was more an issue of multiple keys being depressed at the same time that screwed up the configuration. That is why I need to "reboot" the keyboard.

  • Is the Apple blue tooth keyboard compatible with the soft ware called Splash Top remote for iPad 2?, Is the Apple blue tooth keyboard compatible with the soft ware called Splash Top remote for iPad 2?

    I have been trying to use my Zagg Folio with my ipad 2 and it works great with all my programs except the Splashtop Remote desk top which allows me to access my mac desktop from anywhere with wireless access. The Zagg Keyboard however will not type on my Desk top even though the ipad key board will. Is there any help out there for this issues?
    Thanks
    ROBOCO

    Both should be able to, but you still have to press the button on Splashtop to bring up the iPad keyboard, then hide the touch keyboard, and you can use the Bluetooth Keyboard with your desktop/Splashtop.

  • Problem with the volume keys on my keyboard.

    Hey everybody,
    I have a problem with the volume keys on my keyboard. This started a couple days ago and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. When I press the volume up or down buttons, the graphic appears on the screen as it normally would, but has no effect on the volume of the sound coming out of my speakers.  Therefore, the only way to change the volume of music or whatever I am listening to is to use the volume control within the program/website itself (itunes, youtube, etc.) Even changing the volume on the volume icon at the menu bar on top of the screen does nothing.  If anyone has an idea of how to go about solving this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    First look into the Preference > Sound > Outpur whether internal Speakers are choosen.
    The only Preference to delete I can discover is com.apple.systempreferences.plist in your home Library folder. You can try to move it out to the desktop for example, not to loose all your settings. Restart and see whether the problem still persists. If you don't know how to do this here some Terminal (Applications > Utilities) commands. Enter them by copy and paste followed by <enter>
    mv ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist ~/Desktop/
    restart
    to get it back:
    mv ~/Desktop/com.apple.systempreferences.plist  ~/Library/Preferences/
    confirm with "y" if you are asked to replace this file.

  • Three keys of my keyboard are not working, the cap one, the return key and the space bar, while the virtual keyboard shows to others keys highlighted in orange (^ and `); How to fix it? I writing now with a bluetooth keyboard.

    Three keys of my keyboard are not working, the cap one, the return key and the space bar, while the virtual keyboard shows to others keys highlighted in orange (^ and `); How to fix it? I writing now with a bluetooth keyboard.

    All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
    Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
    I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

  • Apple Keyboard with number pad the V key will not work

    Apple Keyboard with number pad the V key will not work.  Everyother key works but not the V.  I have a MacBook Pro.  Any suggestions?

    Call AppleCare and get it replace if it's under warranty; otherwise, get a new one. They're only $49 USD.
